2nd Test: Bangladesh v New Zealand at Dhaka

269- 3 after 89 overs
Mominul 126 *
Shakib 32 *

Bangladesh lead by 114 runs with 7 wickets remaining
Stumps , Day 4

Mominul Haque was part of a record 157 third wicket partnership for Bangladesh

                                       

New Zealand had not learned from Chittagong and continued to be either too short or too full,

especially outside the off-stump and Mominul took full advantage, and became only the

second batsman from Bangladesh to score back-to-back Test hundreds.

Does Tamim get scared of 3 figures?

The Fluke  ::LOL::

Tamim Iqbal and Mominul made New Zealand sweat for more than a couple of hours when

all of a sudden, Ross Taylor ended the partnership.

A Kane Williamson delivery took the thick outside edge off Tamim and flew away from Taylor

at slip. He stuck his right hand above his head, and grabbed it well.

He coolly walked away, but couldn't contain his enjoyment at the grab :-[

as he laughed and celebrated with his team-mates.

this gotta be a draw unles Shakib produce one of those spells kyle mentioned !  :-[

Yup, heading towards that direction. Unless Gazi and Shakib (esp. him) produces a magic spells and wrecks them, which I doubt since the pitch is still fairly flat now.

Good on Bangladesh though. They already have a decent batting lineup with Tamim, Shakib, Mushfiqur and Nasir. And now youngsters like Mominul are stepping up and taking responsibility. They're heading towards the right direction - before it used to be such a horrible state - they either expect Ashraful to play one of his fluke-y innings and that's it.

Match delayed - rain - Day 5  :-[

One day I was thinking, 'Thank God Sehwag was not born in Bangladesh'. If he was, he would have forgotten how to play cricket.

Tamim Iqbal shows his frustration at having his style of play constantly questioned
